Narrating how the law caught up with the suspects, Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Leye Oyebade, said the breakthrough was made by the special anti-kidnapping squad of the Command after receiving intelligence report on the activities of the heartless gang.
Police further stated that the suspects had succeeded in giving their victims erroneous impression that they could make them rich through rituals.
The suspect told Vanguard: “I am a herbalist and I do fortune charms for people. I am not the one that usually sells human parts. I buy from some people. This is my first time of engaging in this kind of business. I usually buy the human skull for N10,000 and sell it for N25,000 for those that come for fortune charms.”
When police searched his house, they alleged that one smoked human skull was recovered. They further explained that the suspect used coded words for different human parts.
Oladele said the words can only be decoded by their initiates, adding that “a human head that sells for N30,000 is called agbon (coconut).”
The abattoirs
He also disclosed that their trade was carried out in their human abattoirs located at Amuloko and Kuta villages in Oyo and Osun states, respectively.
Police say they would get to the source and nab all those involved in this nefarious act.
